Tomorrow from 12:00 until 1:00 EST I'll be participating in a Globe and Mail forum to answer questions about the new copyright Bill. I'll cut through the legalese to figure out and explain objectively what the proposed law would mean in practice for creators, businesses, consumers, educators, librarians or other Canadians. Send your questions to the Globe using the link above and we'll see if we can shed some light on your issue.
Update: I answered as many of the 85 questions as I possibly could in an hour. Check out the Globe's site to see some of my answers. Common themes were the practicality of the time and format shifting provisions, the nuances of statutory damages, the role of ISPs as well as border officials in enforcing copyright and the consequences of provisions concerning technological protection measures. I tried to be as objective and honest as possible in my responses. I hope you find the Q&A useful.
